In a big pot heat oil and fry the onion and add
the curry and allspice .
Then add the minced beef and fry until it browns
and add the minced garlic.
Add the tomato paste ,stir and let it cook a bit
,pour in the passata and the 2 teaspoons sugar.
this brings out more the flavor of the tomato
paste and passata.
Add the rice and mix in the sauce and pour the
water (can also use stock)
Season and when it starts to boil ,put on a low
flame and simmer until water is absorbed.
In a bowl or jug mix the eggs and milk or cream.
Do not add at once or else the eggs will curdle,I
find that mixing some of the hot rice mixture to
the egg and cream or milk mixture then adding it
prevents this.
Mix well and add half the grated cheese .
Put in a greased oven dish ,sprinkle the remaining
grated cheese and black pepper.
Bake in a 190C oven until its firm .
I do not add a lot of eggs because my family do
not like it very dense .
